This is catching on. There’s nothing Trump hates more than being ignored.

Yay! Nice job! Good to hear folks are beginning to wake up.

Sanctuary Law: local LE will not waste their time (tax money) reporting anyone pulled over for a broken tail light, do the paperwork, wait for ICE to arrive to take custody.
Local LE depends on the trust/ cooperation of their communities to enforce order. Break the trust = both LE/citizens get hurt.

Take Action Now!

We can't sit quietly by while ICE terrorizes our communities and threatens our neighbors. Fill out the form below to send a letter to your members of Congress demanding transparency and accountability for the murder of Renee Good, and to stop ICE! social.redwine.blue/s/SfiqRuPN

Everyone freezing on the East Coast or in the Midwest remember: Kyiv has the same weather, except that hundreds of thousands of people don't have electricity, heating or running water

Court rejects bid for Oregon voter rolls in first ruling on DOJ data grab Read more here.

In a massive win for Oregonians’ and Californians’ privacy, two federal courts dismissed the DOJ’s lawsuit seeking access to both states’ unredacted voter registration records.

The judges agreed that states are not obligated to share such data with the government.

Like the E-files, they are trying to sweep this issue under the carpet. Don’t let them!

This has always been the way it works. However, now the administration could change the rules to delay and invalidate your ballot.

Two fixes:
1. Mark and return your ballot the day it arrives.

2. Don’t MAIL your voted ballot. Take it to a Dropbox, or Post Office (and have them postmark it then).

ICYMI: NY state just made it easier to maintain its voter rolls as a new member of a voter list maintenance org, ERIC, to share key data about voters moving in and out of state. Here's what Quinn Raymond, Election Policy Strategist, had this to say about this common sense move by the state:

Yep, our alpacas like them, too!

Since I’m now getting 1/4 of the benefit of having a federal government, does that mean my taxes will drop 75%?

Or since they’re working against America’s interests maybe it’ll come down by 1500%…

But wait a minute now. Didn't the Supreme Court say President Dementia is indeed above the law.
I wonder if after he croaks he won't be "above" much of anything.

Duh!
